~ Sneak Peek: Cross Point ~

The Sunset Point series is coming soon! Cross Point will be available on September 17th as part of a MFM contemporary 5 book series.

Below is the first excerpt from Cross Point for your reading pleasure. Tomorrow I will post the naughty excerpt, so keep a look out!

STORY EXCERPT

The Palace Resort and Spa sat on a large
plot of land, which was cleverly used to host a variety of activities,
including two pools, tennis courts, and a beautiful golf course located south
of the building. The new expansion plans included building a sister site on the
plot of land just north of the existing location, nestled into the bay on the
western side of the island.

Surprisingly, the lot was almost empty
of workers, giving Trinity the time and space needed to look around. She’d
parked and got out, glad she had thought to change into hiking boots to go with
her jeans and simple white shirt before she’d left her room. From a brief
glance at the progress she had instantly known that the project was way off the
mark. What should have been a solid foundation of the building’s structure was
no more than a skeleton of concrete and wood. With a shake of her head she had
worked her way carefully around the structure, wanting to get a better view of
the entire site.

A man had called out to her, startling
her enough to reach for the grip of the Sig Sauer hidden in the waistband of
her jeans. She’d paused when she saw the security logo on his shirt and greeted
him with a smile instead of a face full of Glock.

“Hi,” she’d greeted him.

The security guard frowned at her. “Ma’am.
You’re trespassing. You need to leave.”

“Actually, I’m a friend of Julian King’s,
one of the owners of this place. He said I could come by and check out the new
project since I’m visiting the island.” Trinity had lied, not wanting anyone to
know exactly what she was doing there just yet. She’d shot him what she hoped
was a look of innocent concern. “It doesn’t look like much yet, though. I
thought it would be further along by now.”

Trinity had noted the security guard
fidgeted at that.

“There’ve been some slight delays. I’m
sorry, but I’m still going to have to ask you to leave. It isn’t safe for you
to go walking around here. I wouldn’t want you to get hurt.”

“No problem, Billy,” Trinity had said,
flashing him another smile as she peeked at the badge attached to his pocket.
She’d gotten back in her car with a friendly wave, planning to go back and see
things closer after she got a better look at the records.

Hunger pains distracted her. Deciding to
take the scenic route into town, she’d headed north up the western coast,
knowing from her study of the island that the road would branch and take her
straight into town before she hit the private villas on this side of the
island.

It wasn’t more than ten minutes into her
drive that she’d noticed a black jeep coming up behind her on the empty road.
Fast. Too Fast. Instincts kicked in gear as she noted the mud-splattered window
that obscured her view of the driver and also hid the license plate of the
approaching vehicle. On the chance that she was just being paranoid she slowed
her car, allowing him to pass her, and in doing so saved her life.

As she slowed, the jeep surged forward,
slamming into the back of her car. Cursing at the hard jolt, Trinity used every
bit of skill and experience she’d learned to keep control of the car. She
pulsed her foot on the brake instead of slamming down on it, swerving slightly
to slow down further. The jeep rammed her again, this time throwing her into a
spin.

“Son of a bitch!”

Someone really was trying to fucking
kill her!

Trinity jerked hard on the wheel, trying
to counter the move. Her heart nearly stopped for a moment as the car slammed
into the guardrail, the only thing protecting her from going over the cliff.
Moving fast, she jumped out of the car and pulled her Sig, training it on the
jeep as it quickly turned around and sped down the road. She didn’t hesitate
and fired repeatedly at the rapidly departing vehicle.

Cursing again, the loud pounding of her
heartbeat was joined by the low throb of a motorcycle engine coming from the
same direction the jeep had fled. On guard, she turned and pointed her gun at
the individual on the bike as he pulled over and parked a few feet away. Her
breath hissed out for a very different reason as she got her first good look at
the newcomer’s face.

Around six three and built like a golden
god, the man was wickedly good looking. Built like a prized fighter, he was
packing some serious muscle and had a fierce aura about him that all but
screamed cop! He had an almost shaved
head that only showed a hint of dark hair that matched the five o’clock shadow
covering his chiseled jaw. Intense green eyes seared into hers as the man
pulled his own weapon, approaching her slowly.

“SPPD, put your weapon down.”

Damn, she was good. She’d called it
right. Trinity cocked her head to the side, intrigued by the easy command in
his deep voice. Never one to pass up an opportunity to poke at authority, she
couldn’t help it. “Badge me.”

He froze. “What?”

Trinity grinned. “Badge me, baby, ‘cause
I ain’t putting this down ‘til I see your brass.”
